Potential Weak Interaction
Bictegravir/ Emtricitabine/Tenofovir alafenamide (BIC/FTC/TAF)
Paclitaxel
Quality of Evidence: Very Low
Summary:
Coadministration has not been assessed in a pharmacokinetic clinical study. Paclitaxel is primarily metabolized by CYP2C8 and to a lesser extent by CYP3A4. In vitro data suggest that paclitaxel activates PXR and therefore could potentially decrease bictegravir concentrations due to induction of CYP3A4 and UGT1A1. A case series of 25 patients receiving paclitaxel and integrase inhibitors (including 6 receiving a bictegravir, emtricitabine, tenofovir alafenamide) showed that the coadministration of paclitaxel did not result in virological failure possibly explained by paclitaxel intermittent dosing and short elimination half-life. Monitor response to antiretroviral therapy. Emtricitabine and tenofovir alafenamide are unlikely to interact with this metabolic pathway.
